More of a question from curiosity to see if there was a massive difference then for people to get abused about driving habits and costs.

When my commute is a 60 mile run on a motorway I guess I could get off and on at every junction and services to rag the hell out of it and make people think im great and keep my MPG down to fit in with the cool kids on here.

I drive the can for fun where I can but also use it as a........ well, a car.
....not only do you have the audacity to start a thread in the RS246 B7 RS4 forum entitled "MPG and tyres" and then wonder why the general reaction has been WTF?! You then refer to the B7 RS4 as just "a car"....OMFG?! Where will this madness end...........will you next claim that Jesus or Mohammad were 'just men'? That we all got here by evolution not creation?! Or that the world isn't flat??................utter utter insanity.

Yeah fair point.

...we did get here by evolution. Jesus and Mohannad are just characters in a story.
